Famous quotes containing the words pascal and/or language:
“The greatness of man is great in that he knows himself to be wretched. A tree does not know itself to be wretched.”

“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
